Tiny Chick Seems to be Struggling

[TaylorTeays]

I made the silly mistake of stopping at a local farm supply store and of course looked in at the little babies. This little one was being knocked over by her brooder-mates, couldn’t stand, shaking a lot, etc. so naturally, I had to bring her home.

I’ve tried to do my due diligence on googling what may be wrong. I’ve got her on electrolytes to help with any possible vitamin deficiency but she’s not drinking on her own so I’m giving her a few drops every little while and she seems to be doing fine with that.

I’ve got her in a brooder by herself and away from any other birds. She makes a lot of noise, but doesn’t move around much. She has pooped twice. But I haven’t seen her eat or drink on her own.

My husband keeps reminding me that I could try my hardest and she just might not pull through, and I’m well aware, but are there any other ideas of things to try? Does she look splay-legged? Do I tie them together with Coban? I’m open to any suggestions!

Maybe try some eggs yolk water with a bit of sugar if you can get her to drink. She might be too far gone, I'm sorry.

That’s my fear, but I’ll give that a try. Thank you!!
